Dolly actually built Dollywood theme park to create jobs for the same families that made fun of her. She is a unofficially the Patron Saint of Tennessee, and there is not a mean bone in her body.

This woman is such a treasure.....she grew up very poor, and in a very poor area. She has done SO much to bring literacy rates up, high school graduation rates up, and brought employment to the area (ever heard of Dollywood? It wasn't just a publicity thing, she wanted to bring employment opportunities to the area where she grew up). As a matter of fact, education is so important to her, she went on to found the Imagination Library, where kids receive one book per month, totally for free, from the time they're enrolled (most parents enroll the child when they're born) until I believe their 5th birthday. My daughter was enrolled, and felt so special getting her little book every month. Dolly also has a stellar sense of humor. This is one of my favorite quotes by her: "I'm not offended by all of the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb … and I also know that I'm not blonde."

Dolly sends free books to any small child who signs up for her free book program. She’s an amazing woman. “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap. “-Dolly Pardon

Dolly says, “ The higher the hair, the closer to God”!

Dolly Parton is definitely a national treasure. She gives so much to so many. Shania Twain is quite talented and she is also a "rags to riches" story. She took Nashville by storm in the 90's and shook them up. Check out Any Man of Mine and Who's Bed Has Your Boots Been Under. She won't disappoint.

"A Coat of Many Colors" & "Coalminer's Daughter" both record a time in history -- impoverished mountain people. That was my father's story. He didn't have electricity or indoor plumbing until he was 11, which was well into the 1950s. He ate only beans & cornbread 5 days a week until he moved out. Unfortunately, my dad's family was not musical. But, he had a great childhood, regardless of his poverty.

@1:04 "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap!" -Dolly Parton

“People always ask me how long it takes to do my hair. I don't know, I'm never there.” - Dolly Parton THE OG DRAG QUEEN, FULLY WIGGED

Yes, we need to learn the Golden rule again “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. Dolly was always the nicest person and she still gives and gives very quietly today. And also, yes, you should react to Shania Twain. Thanks for your reaction

True story. She grew up in a small cabin with I think there were 11 kids. When she became rich she took in 5 or 6 of the kids to help raise. She is amazing.

There's a video of Dolly doing a duet with Shania Twain on the Opera show. Shania is weeping through out it, because she is singing with Dolly. Some of my favorite Shania Twain songs: Any Man of Mine Whose Bed Has Your Boots Been Under That Don't Impress Me Much

I really appreciate your openness to a genre you never really considered in the past. True country music is about the story of life, good and bad. Beautiful music, beautiful voices.

Don't ever mess with this National Treasure.. Dolly has done it all.. She's an amazing singer/songwriter, humanitarian, what more can I say about this woman... too much... you have to LOVE DOLLY

Have to say, every time I hear her voice, my heart breaks. She talks of love.

Dolly is very open about her wigs. She fully admits it and jokes about all the time. If you ever get to see an interview with her, you will just love her!

I love Dolly Parton she's my number one of all female singer's, My Father was Inducted into the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame back in the late 80's I got to meet her backstage and omg as a young lady I thought I would pass out,see my Father passed away 5yrs ago I grew up and that was our song,he'd play the guitar and I'd sing Coat of many colors was our song,I love my Dad he's my hero,and still is may he R.I.P. I'm 60 now, Thank You Sir for your reaction hope you have a blessed evening 🙏 Thank you for the memories,sending you love from Lafayette Georgia 🍑

No one can sing a song like Dolly. I believe she has earned her wings, here in earth.😇

Nothing but respect for Dolly

She wrote this song about herself and her experience! There is a movie of the same name that explains her childhood.🥰🥰

I love this song because it makes me think of my family. My great grandma made clothes for my grandma and my grandma made clothes for my mom. My mom even made clothes for me, as well as herself. Great memories of my family. And my grandma loved Dolly. 🥰

The people in the mountains were not privileged by any means but ms Parton family was very poor. They don’t see themselves as poor, they are lucky to have love and community. Beautiful song with the meaningful message for the holiday season 🎵❤️🎄🙏🏻

Still gives me chills and brings a tear. Been hearing it since I was small!

One of my fav Christmas songs is by Dolly.."Hard candy Christmas."

Dolly keeps joking that when people ask her how long it takes to do her hair she says: I don't know, I'm never in the room 🤣 As always, you are fantastic! More Dolly, please!!

Very talented woman Dolly, she is the queen of country music. So wrote so many number one hits amazing. Love your reaction you are awesome 😎🤩

Dolly love and respected her father. He was iliterate and she started a foudation in his memory that provided a new book to every child in Sever county from the age of 1-5. It has grown to several states an countries. I think at last count she has given over 5 million books. She buys more books than Walmart.

I remember when I was a teenager, my mama and I lived beside an older man who wore clothes held together with safety pins. He was a millionaire. He had lived through the depression and I guess it had a great effect on him because he was very frugal. Never judge a book by its cover. Ever. A person’s worth is not what they look like.

The song is a true story from her childhood, and it always brings back loving memories of her mother. Dolly writes songs to keep memories alive, and she points to “Coat of Many Colors” as one example, saying “whenever I sing that I just see my whole childhood.” (googled) “Coat of Many Colors”-Dolly Parton (1971) - Library of Congress

One of my fav Dolly songs! I love her story-telling lyrics - so autobiographical. She's such a kind, humble person but never forgot her roots. You should check out *'9 to 5'* - it's a real banger, very upbeat! t's from the film '9 to 5' she starred in with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin - hilarious film with an even better song! FUN FACT: Dolly uses her long nails as 'tempo' when she's writing her songs!

I think Reba McIntire is someone you should check out too… Heavy hitter in Country Music:)

Had to pour a glass of wine 🍷for this!!! I am soooo glad you're doing some classic stuff from my childhood!! 60 seconds to go... I need to grab a tissue!! Just in case 😉

Masterful guitar as well- look at her nails!! She has to adapt her technique because of them according to a professional guitarist analysis, Fil Henley. Love your appreciation of this treasur3e, Dolly.

This song helped me endure my childhood

Thank you for doing this song....epic reaction! I knew you would love it!

Yes, Dolly wears wigs. And she has never, ever denied it.

I have loved this song since I was a little girl. All the other kids in their fancy clothes and expensive shoes, and they would die if they knew how much things today cost! And my clothes came from garage sales and resale shops. And from my momma too. Oh yes, my momma made a lot of my things. Tops and skirts and shorts and dresses. And I loved those clothes. I still remember one year when I was in junior high school and all the "popular" girls decided I was a worthy charity case, and that they were going to "help" me be more acceptable to the other kids. And so they invited me to a slumber party. And they had dug out their old clothes that they didn't wear any more, and they squezed me into tight blue jeans and snug tops that I hated, because Dolly wasn't the only one who was generously blessed above the waist. They all walked so ridiculously, taking tiny bouncy steps. I refused. They did makeup on me, which I never cared one whit about and still don't. They paraded me around the house and fussed over me like Meg in Little Women. I put up with their fussing, because I knew they meant well. And when I went back to school in their fancy cast off clothes, do you think the others treated me better? Of couse not! They laughed even harder at me because I was just "strutting about in borrowed feathers" as I once read in a book. I didn't care. I went back to my own clothes, but I did keep a few things the girls had given me. They were sorely dissappointed their efforts to turn me into one of them had failed, but as I said, I knew they meant well. And I endured the teasing and the bullying, because I didn't matter to me. Somewhere along the way, I lost that confidence and that attitude that what others said or thought didn't matter. I wish I had it again.

I love this story telling singer! Especially her own experiences. She is an amazing actress also!

My favorite song of Dolly's ever...that is saying a lot with her repitra of songs. She is amazing!!!

I love Dolly. Watch any interview with her and you immediately see how charismatic she is. She’s incredibly kind, good hearted, hilarious, self-deprecating, and witty as hell. She is an immense talent and we are all better for not only her wonderful artistry but her example of giving back. Anything Dolly has wanted to do, she’s done. From singing, acting, writing any genre of music she wants, to giving children a chance at literacy by sending out well over 100 million books to kids aged birth-5 years. Dolly is an incredible role model and human being and she’s done it all with grace and dignity despite the barbs people have thrown her way for looking like she does. Pure class!

Dolly is a lot like Elvis in regards to her generosity and kindness. They were both born poor but with otherworldly talent ❤ love them both x

This is a true story and her coat is on display in her home town of Pigeon Forge Tennessee

Thank you for what you do. You make me smile even on my bad days with your reactions. You are also always respectful. Thank you.

You are such a hoot 😃🥰 I love your reactions❤️

Dolly grew up in the poor Appalachian mountains and when she went into town and saw the "ladies of the night" on the streets walking around, she thought that they were the most beautiful women she had ever seen! She vowed that she would look like them when she grew up and that is why she wears wigs and flashy, colorful dresses and high heels and lots of makeup when she grew up! She is one of the most generous people and gives back to her town all the time! God Bless!

Dolly is a Goddess. We Will Always Love You....thank you for your voice and songs...From a poor girl to the World knowing your name...I'm so happy your dreams came true...❤❤❤

Omg I love your energy, you’re so fun 🤩

There is alive version of Dolly singing this in a bar in Ireland worth a look.

Since it's Christmas would you react to Dolly's "Mary Did you Know?" She sang it last year on TV for Christmas 2020, and she blew that song out of the water! It's a testament to her talent and voice even after 50 years!!! I don't know any other artist who is still going strong after 50 years and still sounds the same! It's a baffling mystery how gifted she is. I mean who can still sing like that at 74 years old!!!??? I was gobsmacked when I heard her sing this last year. Sometimes, especially after hearing this song sung with a voice that sounds like that of a 20 year old coming out of a 74 year old, I start to believe she is really an angel bc she truly has a supernatural voice and this song proves it. I've been a Dolly fan her whole career and this was the best ever. You have to hear it. Here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7BxisJop6fXXZs.html

You need to watch the movie...you'll understand more. The girl who stood up for her SO MANY years...is still her best friend today!!

Dolly gave one million dollars for the Moderna vaccines she is fabulous.

I dont know that shania Twain is Dolly level but shes got some great songs!! Boots are made for walking is a good one, also, Man I feel like a woman. ❤❤

Love this one. And if ya wanna listen to another country legend diva woman, Reba McEntire, fancy than nights the lights went out in Georgia! Both shockers and fire. Her and dolly both have very unique distinct voices that when they come on the radio or on TV you’re gonna know exactly who it is. Can we people these days so I’m just a like all like little cookie cutters the perfect little bodies and good little artist to do with their label tells them to. These ladies are legends and they were inspired by people like Loretta Lynn who doesn’t call miners daughter that’s similar to coming from a poor background, June Carter Cash so many amazing wonderful country artist the females especially Patsy Cline died too young she was a amazing and her voice was just freakin awesome. I’m 44 but I grew up listening to all kinds of music and I love some old country and old hip-hop and old R&B old school rap old school everything seems like these days people are just little puppets I appreciate independent Artist to do and say and seeing what they want when they want to and what their fans want to hear and not with the man tells them to. These ladies were outspoken and they had contact with they were able to do what they wanted to do. Thanks for doing these

Dolly famously is a millionaire and not a billionaire because she gives away so much of her money. She is an absolute treasure.

Such a beautiful song. First Dolly song I ever heard.

This song always makes me cry

Dolly is nearly 80 yrs old. She is still doing her thing. Check out her newest songs. Jesus and gravity . Or backwoods Barbie. Dolly also has a rap song out 2 yrs ago.

Dolly Parton has a giant collection of all the wigs she has worn 😂☮️🌻💙🇺🇸

Luv this song, so sweet. Canadian Shania is the biggest selling female country music singer of all time. So obviously TONS of big hits.

Every time I cry. Every durn time. 😭

Best quote from Dolly, I ain't dumb and I ain"t blond.

Beautiful song thanks for sharing ❤️

this song is a true song. this lady is the queen of country music like loretta lynn. peace from dalton ga.

One of my favorite songs of all time.

She's amazing !!

Peace, Love! Very Sincere and Beautiful Song!

You should react to "My Tennessee Mountain Home" by Dolly. Not enough people know it but it gets stuck in your head :)

That is a true story about her little coat from her early childhood.

Shania Twain is another country Goddess! Again, a great rabbit hole with any song you pull by her! But my favorites are From This Moment, If You’re Not In It For Love, and That Don’t Impress Me Much!🥰🥰🥰🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Check out 9 to 5 the video it is a movie Dolly was in and she wrote this song too of course

Great reaction as always AB!

Dolly is famous for writing some of the saddest songs known to mankind. Where do I start? So many great ones down this rabbit hole... Ah, the very first song of Dolly's that I heard as a child (54 now) which made me cry... Break out a box of tissue & listen to "Me and Little Andy." Then to lift your spirits, check out "Islands in the Stream" - her chart topping duet with Kenny Rogers (written by The Bee Gees).

Shania Twain, " Who's bed have your boots been under?" You'll like it...

What's sad is,this a true story from her childhood

Hope you eventually do the Trio. Dolly, Emmy Lou Harris, and the incomparible Linda Ronstadt....

You should watch the TV made about this song telling the story of her life. Very inspiring movie. It’s titled Coat of Many Colors. Also did you know she has her own theme park? Dollywood in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

I love Dolly! Her contemporary, Linda Ronstadt, with whom Dolly collaborated and Emmylou Harris, performed as a group called Trio! But you have to react to Linda Ronstadt!!! She’s one in a million! What a voice! Please react to Blue Bayou, Long Long Time, You’re No Good, etc! She has covered many musical genres from operetta through rock! Before today’s powerhouse singers, there was Linda!!!

You are growing. Dolly only sang her life's truth.

I feel so silly. I recommended this one before realizing you did it already ♡ your content is wonderful 👏

A live performance for the BBC, top of the pops.

Back then no song was over 3 minutes, radio wouldn't play it if it was to long.

I love your reaction to Dollys song.

Shania Twain great Canadian country artist. Started very young .

Another great reaction, AB!! You are always so genuine on these! I think it would be fun to see your collection and even just to have a video telling us more about yourself. I think I remember you saying it was a co worker who told you to check out Chris Stapleton, but you were doing reactions before that. What originally got you started with the reaction videos and made you want to check out different stuff from what you had been listening too?

We grew up pretty well off but mom still made us homemade dresses, sweaters, woolsocks, etc they meant so much to me and my sisters!! Yup, got teased at times too

You said "Starters" 🤣 loved them 90s Starter jackets

Reba McEntire is also another female country music legend!! Listen to Fancy, The night when the lights went out in Georgia, Does he love you are just a few.

Great reaction!

Shanaia "Still the one"😉👍

My favorite Dolly Parton "joke" is when a woman in the audience asked her how long it took to fix her hair. Dolly, very calmly, said, "I don't know. I'm never there."

My kids were excited to go shopping at the consignment shop!

The movie she directed that is about her childhood (coat of many colors) is an awesome movie!!

Dolly whoop whoop!!

Amen to that!!!!

She loves her wigs and had a huge franchise😀

Thank you for reacting to this!! If you want to listen to Shania Twain, I recommend the songs Man! I Feel Like A Woman, That Don't Impress Me Much, Honey, I'm Home, and Any Man Of Mine.

I love this song but it makes me cry every time.

By the way ive watched you about a week now. Ive enjoyed your reactions . And so i joined tonight.

Another story song is Coal Miner's Daughter by Loretta Lynn, another country legend. There's a movie about her life by the same name. Another country legend is Patsy Cline, check out her song Walkin After Midnight - in it's time it was a crossover song onto the pop charts.

Always love your reactions no matter who they are, I think you missed your calling, you would make a great stand up comedian, you’re funny and witty, keep up the great work man.

AB I will say it again you are a wonderful person. Love the comment about not being there for the wigs or fashion.,but that we are there for the music. Love love love it ...Well said ..Enjoyed as always .Have a great day
